<div>You need to give the full ncdump -c output (just the time and
latitude coordinate metadata is not adequate), as well as the
xdfopen-style descriptor, and the full text of your GrADS

Regarding the questions below: I'm using opengrads
2.0.a7.oga.3. and grads 1.9. on linux.<br>
First, using sdfopen I get this message:<br>
<br>
sdfopen Desktop/CPDN/nhqhga.pdg6dec.pnw.nc<br>
Scanning self-describing file:
Desktop/CPDN/nhqhga.pdg6dec.pnw.nc<br>
gadsdf: SDF file has no discernable X coordinate.<br>
<br>
Subsequently, I tried xdfopen with a control file. That
did not work<br>
either. Then I created another ctl file that would read
its variables<br>
and coordinate system. It opened fine but when I try to
just draw the<br>
map I get this message no matter which variable I'm
working with:<br>
<br>
gancgrid error: nc_get_vara_double failed; NetCDF:
